1) Far easier to re-roll, just click a different server in the login screen. To go US you have to download a new game and resubscribe and buy latest updates or you have to mess around with update files and then you can't use the client to play on GOA servers again.
2) The population on German servers is much higher. Limors gets 2100+ online every night. The US ToA servers peak at about 1000 although this does last longer because of the different time zones people play on. Stats can be found here. While CM may play later on average than most european people they will still in general find that there are more people to play with. I am guessing they didn't do all their ML raids at 3am?
3) Alot of people playing on the english GOA server didn't have english as their first language anyway. Even if you only speak english there are always enough english speaking players around.
4) Being upto date with the latest patches is not all good. Alot of custom UIs don't work properly. On US servers you can no longer get things like medal of honour. While you can't yet get these on GOA servers thats because the campaign hasn't yet finished. You can just get the same template you had on Dyvet if you move to German servers on US there is all this dragon farming. |
The point of the original poster was that CM would have been better off rerolling US given the hours they run, actionwise that is.
They play 95% of the time in the nights anyway, over at US that would be the main populations primetime and they would actually have alot of action instead of killing small groups, soloers and guards.
Hence, it would have been ideal for them to go US instead of yet another EU server. :X
Most of your arguments are quite flawed also. Limors population could be 50.000 it still wouldnt matter since CM still only is around from 2am+?
And you dont need ML raids at all on US, since the last patch you can do ml1-10 as an fg with ease, we did ml1-10 in 2 days with our FG on US, ml3 took 30 minutes.
EVERYTHING is made piss easy with the latest patch, you can sort an fg with ml's, artifacts, cl's etc etc in a week without a problem, thats including 1 - 50.
